The Impact of Digital Transformation on the Green Innovation Performance of Heavy Polluting Enterprises

本文立足我国“双碳”目标与数字经济战略协同推进的时代背景，针对传统重污染行业绿色创新中存在的技术路径依赖、资源利用低效等现实难题，通过阅读关于数字化转型对企业绿色创新绩效的影响的文献，探究数字化转型驱动绿色创新的内在逻辑与实践路径。当前，我国正加速构建绿色低碳循环经济体系，企业面临从“高耗能”向“高质量”转型的迫切需求。尽管国家通过环境规制、绿色金融等政策引导企业创新，但传统研究多聚焦政策激励与投入产出视角，对数字化技术赋能绿色创新的机制研究不足。随着数字化转型的深入完善，其绿色创新效率有了显著的提高，这主要归因于数字化转型带来的技术、管理、协同能力等多方面的提高。Based on the background of China’s “dual carbon” goal and digital economy strategy, this paper explores the internal logic and practical path of digital transformation to drive green innovation by reading the literature on the impact of digital transformation on the green innovation performance of enterprises in view of the practical problems such as technology path dependence and inefficient resource utilization in the green innovation of traditional heavily polluting industries. At present, China is accelerating the construction of a green and low-carbon circular economy system, and enterprises are facing an urgent need to transform from “high energy consumption” to “high quality”. Although the state guides enterprise innovation through policies such as environmental regulation and green finance, traditional research mostly focuses on policy incentives and input-output perspectives, and there is insufficient research on the mechanism of digital technology enabling green innovation. With the in-depth improvement of digital transformation, the efficiency of green innovation has been significantly improved, which is mainly attributed to the improvement of technology, management, and collaboration capabilities brought about by digital transformation.
